TTC and Beyond!

We had on at 31 weeks after my pre-e scare and Makayla measured a little small (35th percentile) so we have another at 36 weeks just to make sure she's keeping up! My doc offered an additional one today but I said no bc TBH-unless it's 3D you really can't see much at all- it actually looks a little "skeletal" and creepy. Lol
 
I guess I just always feel a relief when I get to see her and know she's okay. Just curious as to what makes women get them when they act like it's unheard of to get a scan after 20 weeks. I certainly don't want to have any problems just to have a scan for reassurance.
 
Hey Cass, have you registered for your birthing classes yet? Just wondered cuz they seem to fill up fast! Especially since it seems to be baby season around here lol. There's only one of the 6 week classes(1 night 2hr/week) left before your due date that's open so I'd get on that ASAP! There's still 3 classes for water birth before your due date available but they require that you take at least one regular birthing class prior to it.
 
I received extra scans obviously to verify that she was still breech but also because my fundal height was measuring off and they said she didn't feel on track for how far along I was (by feeling her through my belly.) So they sent me for a biophysical profile and because she measured small on that, I had to get them twice a week for 2 weeks until I delivered to make sure her fluid level and blood flow stayed normal/good.
 
Ash- I haven't even got any info on the classes! Shea told me today they'd give me info for them at my next appointment. Grrr.
 
Mirolee your so close to finding out eek.
I'm a grump tonight and feel like crap.
 
Robert- suggestion...to hear a heart beat early I suggest holding your breath while they track it. However you may still be too early for that trick.

ok, I get why ya'll don't like showering together...we have 2 shower heads...makes it work better.

Kara, me and u will b trying for #2 soon!

julie- ya, so ur looking for basically 4 days of daycare..that's what we do for $990/month!
 
Holy crap Trader joes pitted green olives are delicious. I can't stop eating them. I might have eaten the whole can. Just maybe.

Nikki, I will try that. I'm soooo early that I don't think it's even possible to hear a heartbeat yet. I'll be 4+3 tomorrow so the reality of actually seeing/hearing anything is awfully slim.
 
Ellie is still doing good. Breast fed her 3x today. Longest was for 13 min. She got poked 3x to replace her IV today with no success. Luckily they gave her a shot of antibiotics instead of putting her thru the IV for 3 more doses of the ones she was on. She was so pissed after they kept poking her. Otherwise she's still doing well. She gets her first bath tomorrow. I'm excited. And they are going to try a bottle with her tomorrow.

I think I have a bladder infection from the catheter. It now hurts when I finish peeing and the pain is more persistent in my lady bits. So they called me in an rx for an abx. Waaa. Nervous about taking anything while bf but obviously they know what's safe.

The best news today is that DH bought me a new car as a push present. Hell to the yeah! I asked for a pandora bracelet but this is faaaaar better. Loaded to the max. I can't wait for summer so I can cool my ass off with the seat cooler lol
 
Thanks! Got him some predisone and cough syrup with codeine which seems to be helping already. No pneumonia or influenza thankfully. Just bronchitis, sinus infection, and double ear infection. I'm just hanging out with my heating pad on my sore butt. Ha.

Julie, I hated getting checked. I thought it hurt! Fx for good news though!

I like how you say "JUST bronchitis, sinus infection, and double ear infection" lol He must be miserable!

I do not like getting checked either. It feels like they are pinching something on the way in, every time. Plus they have to go so far up, it's not pleasant!

Amanda-Yes, we plan to have more. I've always wanted 4 kids, I love big families. However, I am realistic and realize 2 may drive me crazy and we end up stopping there lol

Sonia-So glad you passed the test this time! Also glad Sara was ok...Olivia likes to settle down low and be quiet for a bit to scare me too lol
DH may not want to go through all that now, but he may change his mind after he sees his daughter...they tend to make it worth it from what I hear and make people keep having them! lol

Cassidy-I felt movement, but not really any kicks until after my 20 week apt. I had just told doc that I felt movement but not distinguishable kicks...literally the next day I felt a good kick lol She could still just be working up her strength to get you good :)
LOL I forgot about those stupid Suzy predictions...yeah, she sure doesn't know what she's talking about!

Kara-Nothing wrong with having them back to back! My brothers and I were all 3 years apart. I always thought it would have been cool to have a sibling closer in age so we'd be in school together and maybe even have some of the same friends.

Britt-My doc wouldn't have done another scan after 20 weeks until the very end to check position, unless there was an issue. I get them monthly to check growth just bc twins can start to grow apart in size and one ends up with all the nutrients while the other doesn't get enough. Luckily it hasn't been a prob, having their own placentas help! Surely they would at least do one close to the end to make sure baby isn't breech...I wonder what they do about that. You should ask at your next apt...

Nikki-Yeah, it's crazy how much daycare costs! It kills me that most of them require you to pay on holidays, vacation, if the kid is sick, etc. The one we really like isn't sure what they are going to do over the summer for us since I'm a teacher and wouldn't need childcare during those 3 months...they mentioned a family going out of the country on a long vacation and still paying 50%. I am not paying for 3 months when my kids won't even be there! I will gladly pay a deposit for the next year, but not all summer!

Rachel-What an awesome push present! So jealous!
So exciting Ellie is starting to bf more! Hopefully she'll make a lot of progress with feeding and can go home soon!

You girls are cracking me up "we might just do pull out, it's hard for me to get pregnant anyway"...uh, that's what every woman says before she gets knocked up the next cycle lol That's how it works when you aren't trying, right? lol

Doc apt went well. Everything looks good. Doc said my cervix is nice and closed and doesn't have any pressure on it or anything. Good to know my body is holding these babies in there nice and tight for now! My belly measured 43, so it grew a cm since last week. I mentioned how I had wondered if maybe Olivia flipped bc I've felt her with hiccups down low and that's where I feel Grayson have them (but on the other side) since he flipped. She said she was also thinking they both seemed to be head down...not sure what made her say that, but I'm hoping we are right!
 
We got pregnant with Tristan using the pull out method :lol:

Cassidy I felt Tristan moving at 16 weeks, Hubby felt him on the outside at 19 weeks.

I was meant to starting temping today and forgot. Do you think CD8 is too late to start if I O between CD14-18?
 
Bb not at all.. Cd 8 is abs fine to start temping... All the best
 
Ugh I hate pumping. My milk supply blows. Pretty sure my boobs are shriveling up. I only got 20cc at 2:30 and 35cc at 4:30 and I didn't bf her at all before either pumping
 
Julie - You are right. I will ask next time I go in about that. I didn't like the midwife I saw at all. My luck she's who i'll get in the hospital.

Rachel - Glad Ellie is doing well!!
 
Chatty, chatty, chatty!! So glad this thread is moving again :) but I'm not even going to try to catch up on 20 pages...so I'll touch on what I remember...

showering together, LOVE IT! I feel like thats the time when dh and I have our best conversations about our day and our plans, etc. but its not really ever during a time where we need to be ready for something at a certain time...its usually on the weekend or weekday evening like when I get home from the gym and he gets home from work...we've also figured out the perfect way to stand so we both get equal amounts of water...but we have our eyes on this really awesome shower head that is huge...then down the line when we redo our shower there will definitely be 2 shower heads going in! As for dtd in the shower, we alwasy try is...don't think we've ever finished in the shower...usually carries over to the bedroom lol

sonia, nice to hear from you...yay for no gd. Glad everything is ok with sara

Regarding Kara and Nikki ttc #2...this makes me soooo happy bc now I know you ladies will still be around by the time I get preggo with #1!!

As for BC after baby, I have no idea what I'm going to do. I may go back on the pill or nuvaring or nothing at all... I will NEVER EVER AGAIN use the depo shot...If i had known what that was going to do to my body I would have never asked about it.

Rachel, your push present is awesome!! sorry bfing is not going as well as you want...maybe your supply will increase as Ellie starts latching on longer and more frequently.

Mirolee...isn't it reveal day? what time is your appt?? ps. we're heading up to your neck of the woods tomorrow!

Sandy, sorry hubs is sick...hope he recovers quickly and I hope your sore butt gets better as well lol

bb, I'm so sorry you and dh have to go through this again but I'm glad the DR is finally helping you and I think counselling is a great idea :hugs:

julie, glad the twins are still snuggled in tight...I really don't know how you do it mama...i can't imagine how hard it must be carrying around double the baby bump...what beautiful progression pics!

Waves, can't say it enough how CUTE Leah is and the pic of Hannah and Autumn holding her is precious

I'm really sorry if I missed anything else important (if i did, someone please give me the spark notes version)
 
Hey ladies, I know I dont post a lot, but I read every day when I can at work. Usually cant write much with a supervisor that sits right next to me. Anyway I am 29 weeks now, and definetely notice a decrease in movement in general.....should I be going in or is it normal? I know babies have their quiet days, but I have been up since 430am and havent felt him yet (its almost 830 here). I have had a fruit smoothie that was cold, full of sugar, and still havent. I am a wreck, but don't wanna go into L&D again just yet! I have gone twice already in two weeks for pressure and contractions. I have had numerous BH already, which is daily for me.
